RRP

from £23

Price: £23.99
Hose: 10 metres

Our top freestanding reel and a big contrast to the 17kg Auto Reel. This weighs under 2kg with its narrower bore hose. But it does the job, with two water stop connectors and a multi-pattern spray gun. Releasing and winding in is a breeze, and it’s easy to store as it’s all self-contained.
